I'm collecting the rest of the bits I'll need to do my 911 brake conversion and get Boxster rims mounted. It seems the rims have a ball type seating surface for the lugs and I can't seem to find lug nuts to match (the Boxster uses bolts, I think). All of the 14x1.5 thread lug nuts I've found have the 60 degree conical seat. Is it safe to use a conical nut on a ball seat wheel? Could the wheel seats be reshaped? Is there a conical to ball seat washer/adaptor? I know at least a couple of you out there are using Boxster rims....how did you bolt them on?
